7000 because if the hundred next to the thousand is below 5 the number will be the same
eg: 3200 the answer will be 3000
but if the number is 5 and higher the thousand will be one extra
eg 1: 3521 the answer will be 4000
eg 2: 4809 the answer will be 5000

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: -185 (choice D)
=========================================================
Explanation:
- x = first integer
- x+1 = second integer
Note how x+1 follows immediately after x. That's what "consecutive" means by definition. An example of consecutive integers would be 7,8,9,10.
Adding those two said integers will lead to -371
first+second = -371
x+(x+1) = -371
2x+1 = -371
2x = -371-1
2x = -372
x = -372/2
x = -186
x+1 = -186+1 = -185
Note how -186+(-185) = -371 to confirm the answer.
The two consecutive integers that add to -371 are -186, -185. The larger of the two is -185 since it's more to the right on the number line.
